Monymusk 1998/2022 23 Year Old MBK Single Cask #27854 Rest & Be Thankful (70cl, 57.1%)

Monymusk is a Jamaican aged rum from the Clarendon distillery, distilled from molasses in Vendome Double Retort Stills. It matured for 23 years, first in a tropical climate and later in a continental climate, in a former American oak bourbon cask. Cask 27854 carries the MBK mark. More than 36% of the contents evaporated as angel's share, leaving a worldwide outturn of 205 bottles. Rest & Be Thankful bottled it in Scotland at cask strength, without chill filtration, colouring or added flavourings, in a gift box. The nose combines tropical fruit notes with vanilla and a hint of oak. The palate is full and rich, with rock candy and spice notes and a subtle sweetness. The finish is long, with fine toffee notes and light caramel.
